Solution

The correct option is D -3
Reactivity Towards Metals: All these elements react with metals to form their binary compounds exhibiting -3 oxidation state.
For example: Calcium nitride $(C a_{3} N_{2})$ , Calcium phosphide $C a_{3} P_{2}$ , Sodium arsenide $(N a_{3} A s_{2})$ , Zinc antimonide $(Z n_{3} S b_{2})$ etc. Hence option (d) is correct.
